Here he has all the liberty which is enjoyed by the doctors and nurses save that he can not get at the medicine-chest. Mr. Edgerton arrives at Lord's Island at 2 P.M. of a summer's day, having crossed by our half-hourly sail-boat, row-boat, or tug, from the railroad station on the main-land.
I certainly was convinced of it, however, or why did I name my sail-boat the 'Rebecca' that being the actual name of Miss Belle-bouche? Yet I was not in love with that young lady and am in love with this little creature of fifteen and a half, who has passed me every morning and evening, going to school. Going to school! there it is!
We repeated the manoeuvre with the remaining anchor, and in the gathering darkness fled into the shelter of the river's mouth. I was born so long ago that I grew up before the era of gasolene. As a result, I am old-fashioned. I prefer a sail-boat to a motor-boat, and it is my belief that boat-sailing is a finer, more difficult, and sturdier art than running a motor.
It was a pleasure to breathe the pure, balmy air, even when reclining in a carriage or a sail-boat, and as she gained strength sufficient for exercise, she soon became aware of the rich physical rewards that wait upon it. Slowly at first, but with an increasing impetus, she advanced toward health, the condition of all genuine life. She at last exchanged her carriage for a saddle-horse. Mr.
In the forenoon he went to mass at St. Mark's, to see the beauty and fashion of the city; and then he took a walk with his four or five young friends, or went with them to play at bowls, or even made an excursion to the main land, where they hired a carriage, and all those Venetians got into it, like so many seamen, and drove the horse with as little mercy as if he had been a sail-boat.
The boat righted, and for a moment had a partial respite from the savage pounding of the tempest. The young man, who clung to the weather rail with a tenacity which indicated that he had not yet recovered his self-possession, glanced ahead, and then at the steamer, whose course now diverged from that of the sail-boat, and the two craft were increasing their distance from each other.
There were eight men of us, including Sandford, Bowsher, Heck, and four others whose names I cannot now recall. Our boat was an open sloop-rigged sail-boat, about twenty-five feet in length, which we had bought from a Russian merchant named Phillipeus. I had not before that time paid much attention to her, but so far as I knew she was safe and seaworthy.
She was about thirteen years old, and came over with her father in a sail-boat. I remembered seeing them cruising around as we were sailing over. "They haven't got bites," said her father; "that's the reason they don't pull in." It was very disagreeable to me, and I know it was even more so to Rectus, to stand here and have those strangers watch us fishing.
Calling in the old negro, he gave him some directions in case the patient should awake, and, taking his case of surgical instruments, he proceeded to the landing. Unmooring the sail-boat, he took the two messengers on board, with their boat in tow. The wind was still fresh, and the yacht, with all her sails spread, bore the doctor rapidly on his errand of mercy.
Captain Elisha also talked of other things, principally about the sail-boat, the summer lease of which he had arranged that afternoon. He declared the sloop to be an "able craft of her tonnage" and that they would have some good times aboard her or he missed his guess.
